Ontario Committee
Answers Kyowakai
TORONTO. Ont.—The aim of
the proposed federation of Japa­
nese Canadian groups is to work
in co-operation with other progressive Canadians who are striv­
ing to bring about a more equit­
able regard for all peoples, stated
Teruko Hidaka, secretary of the
Ontario Provincial Committee, in
a letter to the Hamilton Kyowakai.
The letter was in reply to the
Kyowakai's statement and letter
which expressed dissatisfaction
with the manner in which busi­
ness was conducted at the recent
Ontario convention, and criticized
the federation as tending to “dis­
tract us from associating with
other Canadian organizations.”
The Provincial Committee secre­
tary expressed belief that the rules
of order had been observed.
Replying to the charge that a
federation may arouse anti-Japanese antagonism. Miss Hidaka ex­
plained. “If our purposes are un­
derstood by enlightened conscient­
ious Canadians who are deeplv
concerned about the status of the
Japanese Canadians in this age
when justice is the common con­
cern of all. we shall not arouse
antagonism.”

This had to do with our Capricious

Gosh, you can see all the
“fukuros" preening themselves . . .
But as I said. 1 disagree, with
our Kaslo knight, although I doff
my hat to him for his gallantry,
and suggest that, most Nisei gals
do NOT do as he says, but should.
you can see the glint of
battle shining from all sides in
those smoky, dusk-fringed big
brown eyes. Who does that mere
male—that sad sack—think he is
anyway:
Hook , what he Jocks

Onna wa kowai totemo kowai.

Just to make amends a wee bit
for all the slander against our
female columnist, let me say that
her swooning column was pretty
swell. Unlike most people who
criticize swooners (and I actually
suppose she didn’t), she had very
well-defined analyses of the vari­
ous founts of swoonage. Those
observations more than offset her
rather smug assertion that SHE
doesn’t swoon.
Yah, I’ll bet. she does when nobody's looking, I’ll betcha, I’ll
betcha!

Another instance of our young
ladies being “kowai" is like this
here. I find myself buying an odd
issue of Esquire magazine now and
then. And being a naturally naive
type I blantantly display it under
my arm as I amble down the boule­
vard. A charming “musume-san"
comes along to say, “Hello"’ and
immediately snickers (in a lady
like manner naturally), and gives
me that coy “oh-oh" look when
she spies what I am carrying.
Let it be understood for once
and for all that 1 buy the magazine
for reading purposes, Being a
little queer I find that the jazz
articles and the fashion splashes
of great interest. Now don't try
pulling a Bob Hope and sav. Oh.
there's things to READ in Esquire
too?
Of course I am not going around
complaining if a Hurrell kodachrome of Jane Russell is thrown
in although I have an aversion to
those out-of-proportion Vargas.
(Which seemingly are no more.)
The reason why I plan to plant a
gallery of Vargas in my bedroom
is because I'm darned tired of
looking at the same old wall paper.
But these wimmenfolk, with
their charming angelic exteriors,
seem to have a talent for probing
minds and so they snicker. Of
course in a strictly meow crowd
they'd clean out the mag for pin­
ups and jokes—but when a male
goes around buying the mag, he's
a ba-a-a-d boy.
Gee whiz, after all, I’m A Big

Yup. Onna wa kowai, and I ain't
scairt to admit it. Of course I'm
just being polite, you know what
I really mean.

That's the way we parted.
That's the key on which they
all say their farewells to their

Why let the world see into your

Many, many more heartaches.
